Maven - Project Documents

This tutorial will teach you how to create documentation of the application in one go. So let's start, go to C:/MVN directory where you had created your java consumerBanking application using the examples given in the previous chapters. Open consumerBanking folder and execute the following mvn command.

Your project documentation is now ready. Maven has created a site within the target directory.

Open C:\MVN\consumerBanking\target\site folder. Click on index.html to see the documentation.

Maven creates the documentation using a documentation-processing engine called Doxia which reads multiple source formats into a common document model. To write documentation for your project, you can write your content in a following few commonly used formats which are parsed by Doxia.
